Vintage-inspired tremolo tones
The EarthQuaker Devices Hummingbird V4 Repeated Percussions Tremolo takes its cues from the old-school “repeat percussion” units found in vintage Valco and Vox amps. It nails that sharp, sawtooth-style tremolo, perfect for anything from retro shimmer to off-the-wall rhythmic stutters. With three selectable speed modes, you can jump between slow pulses, mid-tempo chops, and rapid-fire modulations with ease.
Expression pedal control
For players who like to get hands-on with their sound, the Hummingbird V4 offers an expression pedal input to control the Rate in real time. This lets you sweep through speeds on the fly—great for live dynamics or experimental textures. With the right foot control, you can even unlock a sense of random, chaotic modulation that’s great for ambient and avant-garde sounds.
Clean JFET boost option
It’s not just a tremolo—turn the Depth control all the way down and the Hummingbird transforms into a clean JFET booster. That means you can fatten up your tone, drive your amp a little harder, or sit better in the mix without engaging the modulation circuit at all. It’s a versatile bonus feature that makes this pedal a handy tool even when tremolo isn’t needed.
Classic EQD build and tone
Like every EarthQuaker Devices pedal, the Hummingbird V4 is hand-built in Akron, Ohio, and loaded with high-quality components for rock-solid performance. It’s got a character all its own—bold, quirky, and unapologetically vintage-sounding. Whether it’s sat at the end of your board for subtle shimmer or front and centre for percussive chaos, it delivers EQD’s trademark mix of creativity and reliability.
